What sparked the massive protests at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology?

The protests erupted following the death of a female Nepalese student who was found dead in her room at the women's hostel. On February 15, students, primarily of Nepalese origin, organized demonstrations alleging inaction by university authorities against a reported harasser. The protesters claimed that the university failed to take appropriate action on previous harassment complaints against a male student, which they believe contributed to the tragic incident. This situation has escalated into significant demonstrations both locally and in Kathmandu.
